Arrow Blow Up
#11
A few months back, the buss cable snapped on our shops X7 that I was shooting. I was at full draw and all of the sudden WAM! the arrow got cut in half, part hit my arm(easily thank god) and the cable hit me on my stomach...
If I wouldnt have been shooting a back tension release, I dont know what would have happened to me! Probably would have ripped the release from my hand or something
Either way, its super scary stuff when that much energy is released and you are in harms way! Glad your ok!!!

Good to hear it wasn't as bad as it could have been. That happened to me two years ago, and I was luck as well... it exploded in front of the bow, not in it. I would suggest running a cotton ball down your arrows, if there is a minor scratch that you cant see the cotton will show up. My bow shop recommended I do that every time I get done shooting. Hope that helps, and glad to hear you are ok.
